If there is some rhyme or reason to this power just came on so maybe I’ll have it for 6 hours again. - Qale Feb 17, 12:29 8
- It has already flickered off and back on a dozen times in the past 20 minutes. The internet connection is staying up though. -- nm - GregW Feb 17, 12:41 1
  - I’ve used cell internet this whole time thankful that Comcast allows me to switch to 1,3,5,10 or unlimited data for the phone plan. Good luck to you. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 17, 12:45
- Charge yo shit. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:29 5
  - And get some water stored somewhere! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 12:31 4
    - Tub is full of water. That’s standard hurricane prep. So I was on top of that one. Truly: If I had been told that power could be out due to the cold, - IAmQale Feb 17, 12:40 3
      - on the plus side, if the bathtub freezes you can go ice skating! -- nm - decline Feb 17, 12:42

Is the audio on NXT consistently garbage, or is it just my TV? It seems like the mics are consistently drowned out by the "crowd" noise and music... -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 12:29 4
- Is it new NXT? So in that Thunderdome thing they have? That’s not ideal. Though AEW’s pretty shoddy with camera/audio at times. - IAmQale Feb 17, 12:42 1
  - Yeah, I started with the New Years episode. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 12:56
- the crowd mix is indeed terrible. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 12:30 1
  - but that shouldn't prevent you from justifying buying a new TV!! -- nm - decline Feb 17, 12:31

- Greg’s not dead! Hurray!! I’m sorry we didn’t send out Naked Crazy Mel out with a canteen of spirits. - Qale Feb 17, 12:21 4

  - I'm not sure any human should wish for an afterlife, really. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 11:51 6
    - Can you expound? -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 11:52 5
      - IMO, people commit or abet many cruelties every day without realizing it. We evolved to be selfish and greedy. Religions evolved to help us feel forgiven. -- nm* - mara Feb 17, 11:58 4
        
        I'm not sure how this ties into not wishing for an afterlife? Unless you are pessimistic about people's chances? -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 12:06 3
        
        Yes, sorry I wasn't more clear. If we can be either punished or rewarded after death, I feel most if not all people would deserve punishment. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 12:23 2
        
        That's specifically the heaven and hell afterlife mythos, though. There are many schools of thought. - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:39
